Lili marlene Lyrics
Underneath the lantern, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember the way you used to wait
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, You'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
Time would come for roll call, Time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
And there 'neath that far off lantern light
I'd hold you tight, We'd kiss good-night
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
All confined to barracks was more than I could bear;
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet, But could not meet

My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
Resting in a billet, just behind the line
Even tho'we're parted, your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams
My Lili of the lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
